Pedego Platinum Interceptor with modifications

Man, that is some serious seat mod work -- Looks like a suspension post, a split saddle, and a "spring" rail system between saddle and post? (Or is that part of the saddle, standard issue?)

The split seat is a Spiderflex mounted on a Thudbuster ST seat post. I replaced the OEM cruiser style handlebars with the BMX type and added a stem riser for a more upright riding position. The bike looks more like a scooter but performs well on rough trails.

Being retired, I've got lots of time to volunteer. The main organization that I volunteer for is the local historic Streetcar Society. So, this picture shows 4 vehicles that I get to drive - all of them are a good time.

The first day with my new Vado. Picked it up just before closing time 30th April 2019. Rode it home, 12km.

It was my Lovelec Diadem first, delivered via an Internet order from Český Těšín in Czech Republic. Český Těšín/Cieszyn is a twin city on the river Olse/Olza on the Czech/Polish border. The locals speak Czech and Polish, neither too well I have always been getting a good support and post-sales service from that small factory. Changes to the bike included replacing the saddle, pedals (to Crankbrothers Stamp 7 Large), adding powerful front and rear lights, two Mirrycycles, replacing tyres with Continental Top Winter II and adding touring Ortlieb Backroller panniers. As well as purchasing a spare battery as the cost was very good and it makes the bike well prepared for uncertain future. The Czech are renowned for the work ethos and I can only tell you the bike is extremely well built. The bike is "restrictable on demand" and unrestricted can reach 36 km/h if you are pedalling hard. The battery range is fantastic. In the summertime I could make 135 km on a single battery charge on two consecutive days (when restricted to 25 km/h).

Similarly to @PaD, I rode my new Vado 5.0 home on the day of purchase (30th of October 2019), some 27 km. The pictures were taken the day after. Later modifications included rising the handlebars, putting the number plate, replacing the Specialized mirror with two Mirrycles, adding Ortlieb E-mate pannier and routinely replacing pedals on my whim

I ride both bikes for pleasure. Lovelec is for longer touring rides while Vado is for shorter but faster trips.

Do you have a Picture of the Stem Riser you used ? Or at least the name of it ? Thanks

 

[Stefan Mikes]

@Rick53, there is a standard of stem called A-HEAD, very popular in mountain bikes. Vados use A-HEAD stems. Therefore, the stem riser is a standard item. I had left the work of buying and mounting the stem riser to my LBS. The guy told me there is a limit of how much you could rise the stem as you are limited by the length of the cables. He squeezed out whatever was possible and my riding position has changed to upright since, just by adding not more than 3" extra with the riser and spacers.
